Userscripts are a way to add extra functionality to a site using Javascript. To use them, add the Violentmonkey extension to your browser. (It is the best open source userscript manager. It works better and looks better than the rest.) violentmonkey.github.io/
i just have a userscript that redirects jewtube urls to invidious, no age restricting there

I can't find what Any Forums X and Oneechan really does. I see a different theme but that's it.
Is it really all about changing places of buttons and change the color of the board?

>why violentmonkey over tampermonkey? 1. Tampermonkey is closed source. 2. ViolentMonkey looks better. (TM is not pretty.)

If I remember right it does all kinds of things like hiding posts based on rules (no tripfags, no memeflags, no posts with the word "ham sandwich" in them, etc.), converting post structure into le reddit style, giving you sauce on images, etc.

don't ever visit youtube for any reason, here are a dozen mirrors with no ads/tracking/sign in requirement
The most important feature for me in Any Forums X is filtering posts with regular expressions. Take a peek at the extension's settings (the wrench icon) to see a list of features that you can enable or disable.

It's a lot more than that, but it takes some time to explore its capabilities. Here are a few keys to get you started with Any Forums X.
t - Toggle the thread watcher w - Watch current thread g - Toggle a thread's gallery mode T - Toggle threading mode Shift-C - Go to the board's catalog page
I hope you enjoy this little taste of what Any Forums X offers.
And is it safe to use even though they published their source code? I mean, I'm a noob, how can I be sure that the extension they give us use the exact same source code they published?

When you install it, you get to look at the source before you confirm the installation. It's a big codebase to skim through, but thousands of people have been using Any Forums X for years. If you really care, you can clone the repo and build it yourself from pristine source. github.com/ccd0/Any Forums-x

One thing about gallery mode. After you hit 'g' to enter gallery mode, the left and right arrow keys will move to the previous and next pic in the thread. It's one of those things you can guess with intuition, but it's not obvious.

You can open an editor in the extension and review the source code yourself. One of the beauties of userscripts is that they're not compiled extensions. They're the same source code that you can open and tweak on the fly, whenever. In that sense, it's vaguely like using emacs.
When you realize how easy it is to fix that annoying behavior that the side admins are too lazy or indifferent to fix, it feels great to get some control over your browsing experience. qualityOfLife++

>Attempt #1: I pasted the wrong link. This was the first invidious instance I tried (and failed) to load that age-restricted video on. youtube.076.ne.jp/watch?v=-Crlq0-3uOU
Elijah Garcia
Yeah for some reason invidious seems to be unable to play age restricted stuff now. You could try piped instead. piped.kavin.rocks/[WATCH URL]
